Play Station 4 already profitable for Sony

After only six months on the market, sales of game console PlayStation 4 is alread making profit for the Japanese company, said Sony's CEO Kazuo Hirai. Previous Sony's game consoles usually generated losses for the first few years, and were sold at a price lower than the production cost.

For example, the PlayStation 3 took three and a half years before the sale of the gaming consoles began to make profits for the company. The big difference compared to the earlier PlayStation is the PS4 is based on standard components used in personal computers. In November, the company IHS argued that production of the Sony PS4 costs $381, but obviously the price of components declined since Sony's leaders claim to make profit by selling console in the U.S. at a price of $399.

There PS4 is available in 72 countries and according to data published in mid-April sold in more than 7 million copies accros the world.
